Mixed-Use

Cox Castle has decades of experience representing clients in connection with the development, financing, acquisition, sale, and leasing/management of mixed-use properties. We regularly represent private and public investors, owners, developers, and management companies in all aspects of mixed-use development, including projects with retail, office, residential (including affordable and mixed-income multifamily property development), industrial/logistics, hotel, entertainment, and resort components.

Our deep understanding of these complex projects bolsters our clients’ efforts to transition their mixed-use properties from concept phase to development and to revenue production. Our attorneys advise clients in all stages of the mixed-use investment and development process, including site assemblage and acquisition, entitlements, environmental and regulatory compliance, joint ventures, finance, insurance, tax, construction contracts, easement agreements (including REAs), CC&Rs, development and management agreements, and listing agreements.

For mixed-use properties with a leasing component, our attorneys have successfully completed transactions with both national and regional retail tenants, including “big box” retailers, major power center retailers, and regional mall and entertainment/lifestyle center tenants, in categories ranging from supermarkets and movie theatres to restaurants and fitness facilities and everything in between. We have negotiated virtually every type of lease, including build-to-suit, reverse build-to-suit, pad, shop, and ground leases. Our unmatched experience and expertise in all facets of retail leasing allows us to structure the best terms and conditions for our clients and complete leases in a thorough, expeditious and cost-effective manner.

At Cox Castle, we closely collaborate with our client’s in-house teams, brokers, architects, surveyors, and consultants, as well as local governmental officials and staff, to ensure our clients meet their business objectives.
